Su An followed Gu Jingchen into the room.
The familiar environment in the store made her feel a little melancholy.
The attentive waiter quickly came over and arranged a suitable seat for the two of them.
Su An was tense the whole time.
Especially when Gu Jingchen handed over the menu.
She immediately saw the types of tea she often drank, hesitated for two seconds, and then pushed the menu back.
"It's better to order from Mr. Gu. This is my first time here and I'm not very familiar with this place."
Su An found a perfect answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a slight smile on the corner of Gu Jingchen's lips.
But it was fleeting, making her wonder if she had seen it wrong.
Gu Jingchen didn't say much, but took the menu and said with concern, "Since you haven't been in good spirits recently, why don't you drink some soothing flower and fruit tea, then eat something, and go back home to rest early tonight?"
"good……"
Su An nodded, and although he was a little hesitant, he didn't say much.
She didn't ask why she was treated so specially, nor did she refuse.
Gu Jingchen didn't explain either.
It seemed like he should have been so good to her.
And she just needs to accept it.
The two of them acted very naturally towards each other, then Su An turned on the computer and continued with the work at hand, while Gu Jingchen gave him some pointers from time to time.
To anyone's eyes, it looked like a couple who happened to work nearby and took a break from their busy schedule to come here for a date.
Soon, the ordered tea was served.
Su An was indeed a little thirsty, and subconsciously wanted to pour himself a glass.
As soon as my fingertips touched the cup, I felt a hint of warmth.
It’s Gu Jingchen.
They both wanted to take the same cup at the same time.
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Su An subconsciously looked at the person in front of him, and was caught off guard by the pair of bottomless black eyes.
The fingertips are the burning temperature from the other person's fingertips.
It was as if I could feel his heartbeat through my skin.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
It's time to let go.
The same idea popped into the minds of the two people.
But no one moved, waiting for the other's reaction.
I don't know how many seconds passed——
"You continue to be busy, I will help you pour it."
Gu Jingchen finally raised his hand and snatched the cup from Su An's hand.
Su An lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The surroundings seemed to be wrapped in an atmosphere called "tacit understanding".
Before, if she accidentally had any physical contact with Gu Jingchen, she would have apologized immediately to avoid causing him disgust.
But now...
It’s okay if you don’t apologize.
It doesn't matter if you touch it.
even……
Gu Jingchen's co-pilot seat has almost become her exclusive seat these days.
If she still didn't understand his intentions, she really needed to go to the hospital to have her head checked out...
Soon, dinner is over.
It had been a long time since Su An had been to this familiar restaurant, so he enjoyed the meal very much.
Gu Jingchen also naturally suggested, "Get in the car, I'll take you back to Dong."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
Having ridden in his car more than once, Su An was already used to it, so he opened the passenger door and got in.
But all I could think of was the scene of our fingertips touching each other.
Yes or no……
Can it be made clear already?
If she was a woman who truly loved Gu Jingchen, she could have just slowly flirted with him and had plenty of time to play ambiguous games.
But she can't.
Maybe Gu Jingchen was also waiting for her to make it clear?
His concern for her went beyond the scope of assistant from a long time ago.
It became even more obvious after I came back from this business trip!
Su An pondered all the way, wondering how to make it clear.
Until the car was stable downstairs.
"arrive."
Gu Jingchen's reminder also sounded in his ears.
Su An unbuckled his seat belt, but did not rush to get out of the car.
A confined space is the best place for conversation.
Even if I don't get a positive answer, just a small test...
Su An thought about it, and finally couldn't help but whispered, "Mr. Gu, can I ask you a question?"
"explain."
Gu Jingchen was not surprised at all, as if he had been waiting for her to speak first.
Su An was silent for two seconds before continuing, "I've thought a lot these days. Tang Ze and I... are both your assistants, but I feel like you're particularly good to me. Am I... wrong?"
She didn't dare to say it too clearly, she just wanted to test what Gu Jingchen's attitude was.
Just ambiguous?
Or do you want to... develop a relationship?
She hoped for the second answer.
Gu Jingchen also fell silent because of her question.
Did An An finally feel it?
Is his current behavior what she wants?
Since she chose to use a fake identity and stay with him, she must have her own purpose.
I just don't know what kind of distance is needed between the two of them for such a purpose?
The words "I'm pursuing you" were on the tip of his tongue, but Gu Jingchen didn't dare to speak.
He finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, so he had to be careful.
The two thought of it together again.
Just like two people caught on a tightrope, every step must be taken with caution.
It’s better to go slowly than to take a wrong step.
A while——
"I……"
Gu Jingchen finally spoke, and the answer on his lips was the one he had thought about countless times.
Since chasing people will scare them away...
So... what about pretending?
If she were given a fake identity, would she be more relaxed?
Thinking about it, Gu Jingchen slowly said, "Actually... I have one more thing I want to ask you for help with."
"What?"
Su An asked hurriedly.
Gu Jingchen no longer hesitated and continued, "I would like you to pretend to be my girlfriend and cooperate with me when necessary."
"Pretend to be...a girlfriend?"
Su An was stunned at first, and then fireworks exploded in his heart.
The progress came too suddenly, leaving her a little overwhelmed for a moment.
Gu Jingchen was afraid she wouldn't agree, so he quickly added, "Actually, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I just couldn't find anyone suitable. The reason I chose you is simple. First, we've been together for a long time and have a certain understanding of each other. Second, based on this relationship, it's convenient for us to work together. Of course, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position, so I'll privately give you a raise..."
Gu Jingchen tried hard to make these two reasons sound reasonable.
Su An also gradually reacted.
She had no reason to refuse!
Whether it’s true or false, the title of “girlfriend” can make it easy to do a lot of things!
It can also allow her to get closer to Gu Jingchen!
Moreover, Gu Jingchen said that he had thought about the candidate for a long time, and now he spoke to her, which was enough to prove that she was different!
And those ambiguous actions...
It's definitely not just a disguise as he said!
No matter what, agree to it first, and then deal with things later as they come!
Su An tried hard to calm down, suppressing his emotions and maintaining his usual businesslike demeanor. He promised, "Since this matter has caused so much trouble to Mr. Gu, I can help you."
